Nick has a stalker

In one of the best episodes of the season Nick gets a stalker but is starts off with a women getting stalked and killed and the CSI's find out he was hiding in the loft and the only way he got in is if the women let him in.Later they find another victim is Nick and the CSI's have to get back to his house before the Stalker decides to kill him.I rated this a 10 with Identity Crisis because they are both perfect episodes but couldn't decide which one is better.moreless

A young women is being stalked but it eveantually turns out that they have a CSI in mind.

This i belive is one of the best episodes of CSI ever it has great acting, fantastic story and also can be considored creepy but overall it is just wow. I have watched this episode at least 2 times during the past fortnight and each time i still feel the same shiver and excitment while watching it. Also the acting portraid by George Eads is just amazing and also the acting who plays the stalker he just fits the bill perfectly knowing all about Nick and about his life and acts in everyway a good CSI preprator should. Overall this episode is a must watch you won't regret it.moreless

This episode is crazy!

Ok this episode starts with a girl who is scared to death because someone is stalking her. Then you figure out that she was posed because the guy wanted to be like nick. I liked the crime stopper artical and how they had it all plotted out so Nick would be freaking out when he saw the e-mail with his prom date. The clarivoint guy was just brilliant that just added a whole nother level of weird to the episode. The ending i didnt like so much with him getting caught and brought into police custody and arrested i would have rather him got away and been in a few more episodes.moreless

This is a fine example of great Direction and writting

So, this is my first review of CSI Las Vegas. I loved this episode specially because of the keen details one often overlooks. The choice of music and sound was perfect, theis episode even has perfect thriller meterial in it with lots of suspense. It kept me on the enge numerous times and I gotta say it's all because of a great direction. The only flaw that I see is that the story of the phsychic was left in thin air. Did he die when Crane threw him out? He was a key element in the whole episode and I think is not fair to just leave him out like that.moreless

A woman is killed in her apartment by a stalker who had an interesting way of getting close to his victim.

Fantastic. This is one of the first episodes I ever saw of CSI. It's such a great reason why I watch the show. It had lots of suspense without it being predictable. I enjoy the show when it involves the CSI field investigators into the storyline. I'm now watching the show from the beginning and this episode is where I am currently at. This episode and the episode "The Finger" have been my favorites so far. As I said before, this episode isn't as predictable as some of the CSI episodes prior. And last but not least, I heart Greg. :)moreless

TRIVIA (6)

Goof: When the bathtub is first examined, Catherine takes out her swab to get a sample of the hair dye. The q-tip is dirty when she takes it out of the supposedly sterile box, but is clean again when she goes to collect the sample.

Nick's apartment is seen for the first time. George Eads, who plays Nick, requested that some trophies be removed and books added in the apartment in order to match his CSI profession and get rid of the high school atmosphere he felt. For the final outlook, the writers addressed his concerns.

Goof: When you get a close up of Nick as he's sitting in the wheelchair you see he has a cut on his cheek. It's obviously still an 'open wound' that in reality would require some sort of bandage, yet there's no bandage over it. Not even butterfly strips.

This episode was aired on April 4th, 2002, but if you look closely at the medicine bottle Nick takes moments before Morris Pearson knocks on the door, the "date filled" was April 17, 2002. This scene took place 13 days into the future.

QUOTES (15)

Nick: Why me?Grissom I don't think it was about you, Nick. Or Jane Galloway, for that matter. I think it was more about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. His premise is that social beings strive to belong. In Nigel's mind, Jane Galloway was someone he could control which was okay for a while but you ... you were someone he could actually become. See, Maslow's Fifth Tier of the Hierarchy is Self-Actualization. The problem for Nigel is that you would have to die in order for that to happen. Or else he would.Sara: Twenty-five years to life, Nick. It's over.Nick: It's not over for me. It's over for Jane Galloway.

Nigel: Nick, you know what a nine-millimeter slug does to a skull at close range? You know? (Nigel pulls his gun back and holds it in front of his face)Nick: Yeah.Nigel: Blow it right apart, right? Brains like strawberry swirled. Whipped cream, everywhere. And you. (Nigel points the gun back at Nick) You'd have to scoop that stuff up, right? Yeah, little pieces of skull and bone and brains. All in individual baggies with the victim's name on the label.Nick: You know I don't want to disappoint you, Nigel, but this isn't the first time I've had a gun in my face. How do you want this to end, Nigel?Nigel: How do I want this to end? I want you to be able to remember my name.

Warrick: Grissom, this guy was right there. I could have had him.Grissom: You helped out Nick. That was the right thing to do.Warrick: Doesn't feel like the right thing.Catherine: You know, Nick was alone. The stalker could have killed him and didn't.Grissom: Yeah, I wonder why. Let's go back over there.Warrick: I'm going with you.Grissom: No, no. You need to calm down a little. Talk to Nick when he wakes up.

Grissom: You know that blonde fiber we were looking at?Warrick: Fiberglass insulation -- comes in pink and yellow. But you already knew that. Is that why you're calling?Grissom: Not really. I was checking a phone line. But good work.

Greg: What's up?Nick: Stop invading my privacy, man, I don't like it. I'm just trying to do my job around here. I don't need the extra attention.Greg: Okay. But, I mean, you are the one who's doing the "Forensic Spotlight" in the department newsletter. (Nick tightens his grip on Greg's shoulder. Greg winces in pain)Nick I didn't do anything, man. Someone from the community wrote a letter of commendation.

(Nick enters the break room to find Warrick and Sara giggling over latest "Crime Stopper" issue)Warrick: Who wrote this?Nick: You're kidding me, right?Warrick: "Nick Stokes, Crime Stopper." (Nick laughs) You went Hollywood on me, man.Sara: And I quote, "in his off time, he enjoys creating and inventing toys." That's fascinating. What kind of toys do you make, Nick?Nick: I thought I got my hands on all those departmental newsletters. Where'd you get those?Warrick & Sara: Greg.Nick: Yeah, that figures.

Catherine: Oh, and don't forget what's under the bed.Nick: Why, what's under the bed?Catherine: Something that you would have caught eventually ... "Crime Stopper" ...Nick(laughs): No one's going to let me live that one down, are they?Catherine: No. You know, now that you're a celebrity, you may want to think about getting a new shirt.

Doctor: Now, these painkillers are the real deal, okay? Don't overdo it. Plenty of rest. No work for at least a week.Sara: Will do, thank you, doctor. (the Doctor leaves, Sara wheels Nick down the hall in the wheelchair)Nick: The gloves, you find them?Sara: Catherine thinks he might have got away with them. But, uh, Grissom did find some wacky video collection.Nick: Of what?Sara: Now, did you not just hear the doctor? You're supposed to rest. We're on it, okay?Warrick: Yeah, relax, Ironside.
